So I know most everything I've read says you should be able to reach the top of your backplate. Mine seems to fall/sit a tad lower and just slightly out of reach. Any thoughts on how to raise it up/improve this? I haven't gotten a chance to dive the setup... just getting it rigged for now.

you can change the shoulder harness length if that does not move the waist too far up. else you might need a longer bp if you are either taller than most people or your torso is longer than average.

Don’t worry about it. Strap on a tank and try it out.

Strap a tank on and go dive it. Once you’re in the water and laying flat at depth the plate will find it’s spot. Check the harness to see how tight or loose it is and how the crotch strap affects the tightness/looseness of the harness. Make mental notes and adjust it if needed when back on land. Make your adjustments then jump back in and try it out again.

Move your fully extended reaching hand from front to rear in an arc directly past your head
with your elbow moving in an arc, next to your body, like a reverse karate chop not a salute.
Did you get that
